Renewing God, by your hand the stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. In faith we pray:
Open our hearts, O God.
Guide your Church to greater understanding and implementation of Catholic social teaching.
Open our hearts, O God.
Prosper efforts to care for orphans, widows, and all those caught in the crossfire of war.
Open our hearts, O God.
Inspire us to visit the sick and companion our elders.
Open our hearts, O God.
Our Father . . .
May God enrich our lives with every gift of the Spirit and lead us along paths of peace, through Jesus our redeemer. Amen.
